1986 Pickup interior fuse box removal?

Hello all-

My first thread is hopefully an easy one. I've searched and searched for some info on this with no luck. I've looked in some FSM's and couldn't find my answer there, either; I do not have a Chilton or Haynes.

I have a 1986 2wd pickup. I'm trying to get access to some wires and can't figure out how to remove the fuse box/panel behind the driver's side kick/dash panel. The fuse (and relay?) box is a white plastic box with one bolt at the bottom. But it feels held in place on at least one point at the top- I can't see what's holding it and am afraid to use too much force for fear of breaking a tab or screw mount.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

looks like almost nothing
refer to the pictures


the tab? above the ground wire and bolt
this is the backside of the fusebox
the white plastic with blue dot is your enemy, pry against it


mounting tab? behind ground wire



hole to go through

Remove bolt on bottom, Look (IIRC) above and behind the fuse block, find a latch that you press one way so you can slide the whole fuse block up / down.
